Sherman Alexi Literacy Summary



Sherman Alexi was an Indian living in the Spokane Indian Reservation. Literacy was important to him because he thought himself how to read at an early age. Indians were sought out to fail in the non-Indian world. He stated, “I refused to fail. I was smart. I was arrogant. I was lucky.”  He later became a poet, writer, and novelist.

I guess it is partially essential for me. I always refuse to fail in any way, shape, or form. I always want to succeed, so I never give up on anything that I want to achieve.  I hate when people tell me, “Joe you will not be able to do this or do that.” It gives me intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. These motivations help me overcome my obstacles in proving people wrong.
